About This Book

A practical manual for nurses presenting fundamental nutrition science, food composition, and fuel values, then translating those principles into kitchen methods, laboratory exercises, and concrete feeding plans. It surveys normal requirements across life stages, infant and child feeding, and dietary management for pregnancy, postoperative care, fevers, gastrointestinal, renal, cardiac, hepatic, metabolic, and infectious conditions. Each therapeutic chapter links physiological explanation with menu adjustments, recipes, and measurement guidance. Extensive appendices supply nutrient tables, 100‑calorie portions, vitamin content, and height‑weight charts plus a nutritional index to aid planning and assessment.

FOOTNOTES:
